HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP

Pull the rotisserie chicken apart and discard the skin. Use kitchen shears or a knife to cut the chicken up into bite-size pieces.

Dice 1 onion and then saute the onion in a large pot with butter over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt and cook until the onion is tender and slightly browned.

Once the onions are ready add in the chicken broth and increase the heat to high to bring the broth to a boil.

When the broth is boiling add in the pasta, frozen vegetables, and tomatoes. Cook for 7 minutes or until the pasta is done.

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the chicken, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes then remove from the heat and serve as desired.

CAN I USE FRESH CHICKEN?

If you would like to use fresh chicken you will need to cook it before making the soup as the soup uses already cooked chicken to cut down on the cooking time.

CAN I MAKE THIS SOUP RECIPE VEGAN?

Yes! We suggest using tofu, chickpeas, or beans in place of the chicken, you could also use a vegan chicken product. Instead of using regular butter and chicken broth use vegetable broth or “no” chicken broth and vegan butter.
